Painting in blood is the most intimate I could be for such a personal subject, The reflection into my life's repetitive trauma in relationships. By understanding the role I play in my own suffering and by exposing these deep hidden feelings, I can learn and heal from them.

This series of paintings although sorrowful to view are beautiful, because they are life. Pain is the part that drives us forward and gives us an appreciation for happiness. I am happy and stronger for all of my past and I embrace it. I am alive.
